I didn't say that. Well, then it's settled. I'm an INTP. 😁 Or maybe the test should have better questions. 😌

If you didn't recognize a truth, would you want to know other truths? But beliefs are not just words. Beliefs themselves are direct, as in they happen in your experience, but what you believe in is not direct because there are unquestioned assumptions. Using belief to recognize truth is never going to happen, because a person has already assumed it's true from the beginning. If something bad happens to that person, he/she must either admit the truth or continue believing their previous beliefs. If he/she admits the truth, then what is stopping him/her from questioning the other beliefs? And why should he/she use belief as a method for seeking truth?

Sorry, but I disagree.

@Joshe, I definitely am not driven by feelings, but I do have deep feelings. I do think and imagine a lot, and I have a crazy stream of thoughts; however, I don't try to find answers by solely doing logic. I try to connect and find patterns a lot.

Maybe that's not a bug, but a feature. 😁

I don't know that, perhaps it is. But not for truth-seeking.

@Joshe, I do like knowing stuff, but I'm driven by comprehending stuff. I get excited when I try to understand and make connections. It's like my life depends on it. For me, it would be for the sake of comprehension. Only knowledge is too dry for me. I don't try to logicize everything, but I love making logical connections. I would do site hunting to find programs all over the internet to try them and understand how they work, regardless of how obscure they are. I would learn many programming languages because it amazed me how programs are maintained by code. I have too many internal thoughts, by which one might go crazy. I try to let them flow and understand them. I talk to myself a lot. 😁 Etc.

No. You will understand when you question beliefs. There is a difference between having beliefs, by being careful without holding them tight, and using belief to realize truth. Questioning and holding or acquiring beliefs are diametrically opposed to each other. There isn't a recognition of truth in beliefs, as they are basically assumptions about reality that are convincing to you, where emotions are used as a fuel.

Belief as a method for realizing truth is one of the most delicious delusions. People don't understand that beliefs are not direct and cannot lead to truth. Beliefs are assumptions about reality, and they make you convinced that you are correct. If there is an assumption, there will be a question for that assumption. Not questioning that assumption is what makes beliefs unsuitable and delusional for realizing truth.

Religion provides beliefs while presenting them as direct knowledge, which creates a confidence that discourages questioning those beliefs. It doesn't understand that beliefs are not direct. If, by "real", you mean that those religions awaken you or make you have direct realizations, then it's correct to say that they, or the people who follow them, will all be deluded forever.

@Schizophonia, forget about it. I was trying to understand what he meant. But I think you could understand it by thinking about what femininity needs, regardless of the degree of it in each person. The term that Leo made up made me confused about what he was talking about.

@Joshe, I got INTP from the free test. But I think the test was simplified.

@Joshe

@Joshe, I think I am both INFP and INTP, if that makes sense.

@Joshe, the last two are more like me. As for the first one, comprehending stuff is really motivating to me, though I tend to experience deep internal feelings.

If you don't mind, may I ask you why? 🙂

I was an INFP the last time I did the test. However, I think I didn't answer some of the questions truthfully enough, or some things have changed that I think I would get a different result.

@Leo Gura It needs safe space to express itself like a melody that needs silence to be truly heard, someone to feel validated by like when parents just listen to their child without judgment, something bigger to surrender itself to like standing in a beautiful landscape that has no end, someplace to fit in like placing the last puzzle piece.

@Leo Gura, will it be about general matters in life? I am just guessing, but will it be about showing us that we live in a fantasy we do not understand and that we should abandon our desires and do what is needed and expected of us?

@zazen, I think you are oversimplifying too much. Community isn't and cannot be exclusive to the East, even if the West emphasizes the individual more. Yes, there are people who think the individual can exist without community, but they're ignoring the fact that individuality itself cannot be maintained without community. There are also people who think community can be sustained while ignoring individuality. Show me an Eastern country that has achieved more genuine harmony between community and individuality than the West. And if so, did it accomplish this without Western influence? Community isn't inherently better than individuality, and vice versa. What I think matters is the degree of truth, open-mindedness, honesty, and transparency present in a society.

Fixed it.

😦

Now the question is more clear. I can provide some attributes based on my observation. However, I don't actually know why it is how it is.
